Sadly they haven&#39;t updated it in a few years so some things are out of date. <br />I think that knowing the bus system is Paris is a huge plus!<br />Jennifer Grecohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-15692829765066700832015-02-27T20:04:37.491+01:002015-02-27T20:04:37.491+01:00I&#39;ll have to pick one of these up!

The Paris Map Guide is so much more compact and easy to use when compared to the typical tourist maps. And, it feels much more discrete. I have never felt more like a tourist than when I was trying to wrangle one of those humongous, fold-out maps on a rainy, gusty, busy Parisian sidewalk. Are the Paris Map Books available on-line before I wander around trying to find one in my jet-lagged stupor?

There are a couple of drawbacks that have surfaced on the 2010s. The print is now too small for my eyes to find those tiny streets I am looking for. I have had to carry a small magnifying glass. <br />Also on my iPhone in my apartment I Google the area I want to visit and then copy that map to my phone and I can refer to it when I het out tof the Metro and get my bearings without the need for internet service.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-36712249655640388462015-02-27T17:04:11.267+01:002015-02-27T17:04:11.267+01:00I love the Paris Map Guide, only downside is it ha...I love the Paris Map Guide, only downside is it hasn&#39;t been updated since 2002 (but then neither has Paris!).

We&#39;ve picked up a few on annual visits to Paris (have a couple for London as well). They&#39;re an easy size for carrying around and can be much more discreet than unfolding one of those free maps. Now, when we get home from a trip, they go into the &quot;travel box&quot; along with the adaptors, etc., and are the first thing I grab when packing. . .
